Challenge
Aixscale Photonics, an innovative company in the field of photonics, had until then relied on Excel-based processes to manage manufacturing, warehousing and logistics.
With a new production operation being built up and project execution growing ever more complex, the company needed a central, scalable solution that maps and optimizes the entire value chain – from development through to manufacturing – efficiently.
Solution
Enko Software GmbH rolled out Microsoft Dynamics Business Central as an end-to-end ERP system at aiXscale Photonics. The solution was tailored specifically to the requirements of the industry and to the company's development and production processes.
The ERP system comprises a production module, machine connectivity via a message bus and the integration of suppliers and service providers. The software maps every area – manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and shop-floor data collection (BDE) – on a single central platform.
Results
The ERP rollout enabled Aixscale Photonics to make considerable progress:
- A completely new production operation that is efficient and scalable
- Support for the development process, through close integration of development and manufacturing
- Streamlined project execution, with seamless transparency and control across every project phase
